When NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson flies to space on USA Movies | Adult Movies OnlineThursday, she will become the oldest woman ever in space.
Whitson, who has flown to space twice previously, will launch to the International Space Station at 3:20 p.m. ET from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
At 56 years old, Whitson beats out astronaut Barbara Morgan, who was 55 when she flew to orbit in 2007, according to the Associated Press.

Whitson is a fair bit younger than the oldest male NASA astronaut to fly in space. John Glenn holds that title, after his spaceflight at age 77 in 1998.
Whitson will fly to space aboard a Russian-build Soyuz spacecraft alongside Russian cosmonaut Oleg Novitskiy and European Space Agency astronaut Thomas Pesquet.
